Amende Honorable.

In last weeks LEADER, in pursuance of
what we considered our duty to the pub
lie as a journalist, a paragraph was pub
lished seriously rejecting on Prof. Lewis
Gillespie, an elOcutionist who has been
giving reading lessons i'll Brookhaven for
some weeks past, as one having refused
to pay bill held against him by this Of
flee, and also as one lacking in IL due ap-
probation of courtesies extended him by
strangers. This paragraph called forth a
card from Prof. Gillespie so frank and fair
in its terms as to lead us to suspect We
had misconstrued his action in the prem
ises, and the whole matter was then, at
our request, submitted for adjudication to
mutual friends, with the following result
We, the undersigned, to whom the diff
ference existing between the Editor of
THE LEADER and MIR. Lewis Gillespie was
referred, hereby state that we have cX-
amiued the matter and find that the dis
pute arose from an honest misunderstanding
ing which has been amcably and honor
ably adjusted.

A. LEWESTHAL, il

In view Of the foregoing, aud being
convinced We were in error in assembling
to Prof. Gillespie wrong motives in refus-
ing to pay our bill, or as regards his &C
tion in any other respect, it is with a
sense of justice as we'll as pleasure that
We hereby withdraw everything said de-
rogatory of him. We are now convinced
that we not only did him grave inins-
tice in our paragraph of last week, but
that he is true gentleman in every sense
of that term.

I'd 80 home. He put on one shoe,
felt something hard, took it off, and
found the dollar. He looked around
him, but saw no one, and looked up
gratefully toward heaven. He then
put on the other shoe and found an
other dollar. He looked at it, and
looked all around him, but saw no
one. He then knelt upon the ground
and returned thanks to God for the
blessings which had been conferred
upon him. The listeners learned from
the prayer that the old mans wife
and one of his children were sick. land
that they were very poor; so that
the two dollars were a great relief
sent to them from heaven.
There said the professor, show
much better this is than to have hid

A Chesnut:Worth Retelling.

In one of our colleges a professor
who had made himself friendly with
the students was walking out with an
intelligent scholar, when they saw an
old man hoeing in corn field. He
was advancing with his work toward
the road, by the side of which lay his
shoes. AS it was near sunset, the stu
dent proposed to play the old man a
joke. 81 will hide his shoes we will
conceal ourselves behind the bushes
and see what he will do. I"
NO" said the professor, "it would
not be right. You have money
enough, just put dollar in the old
mans shoes, then we will hide behind
the bushes and see what he viii do"
The student agreed to the propos-
al, and they concealed themselves ac-
cordingly

Our jovial ancestors in England
had merry, conceited jests, wags that
they were. One of these jests was
the frog mug, or, as it is called in the
North, the ''puddock mug" Deep in
the hollow Of a beer mug, more or
less highly decorated outside, the
efiigy of frog or toad, modelled to
the size and tinted to the coler Of
life, was to be seen. The mug filled
with humming ale was presented to a
victim, who deeply drank; when re-
luctantly he withdrew his lips to
draw the usual deep breath of salts
faction, and gazing into the mug to
see what further delight was in store,
he saw the hideous reptiles head
peering up at him, and the body as if
in the act to leap. The mugs were
made very strong so that when the
frightened victim dropped them to
the floor they should not break ard
interrupt the joy Of the jokers.

"PIsin Living"
WORDS OF ADVICE TO AMERICAN YOUNG
MEN AND WOMEN.


Rev. A. d. Mayo, in the course of
q lecture in Philadelphia, said:
"What the American people mean
by plain living is saving from the
lower side of life, in days of poverty,
for the higher side, and, in wealth,
directing the material outlay by
character, intelligence, refinement and
a general sense of the fitness of
things. 1t is shown that the yearly
earnings of the American people fix
the limit OF average family living at
$500 or less year. The central
question of American society is:
How can the average American fam.
lily keep up true home life on this
sum? That life includes health, in
telligence, morality, and all the ele-
gance and opportunity that good
family can get out of moderate
sum. It is o matter of domestic ed
ucation, equally important and more
fundamental than the training of the
schools, and which the schools, al
best, can very imperfectly supply.
1t means that every American child
should be taught that money always
represents work by somebody, and
how to use it on both sides of life,
as well as to get it.
Every American girl should be
taught the art of home making; not
the old housekeeping Of the peasant,
the slave, or the ignorant classes,
which is eternal drudgery, but the
"new housekeeping" which puts q
superior womanhood into the hands
and uses labor saving machinery,
brains, character and culture to get
the most out Of a dollar. It needs
more ability now TO handle first
class house than to be principal of
a female seminary in the old time.
We met young lady, out of the up.
per stratum of New York society,
who had come to western agricul-
tural college to study scientific book
keeping, because She had engaged TO
be married to rich man and was re-
solved to fill her position with cred
it. The experts say that good cook
ing will save halfthe material and
greatly improve food. The Ameri.
can people waste more in slovenly
and extravagant housekeeping than
any other nation, and, in the long
run, infict damage on the country
which may be classed with that caus-
ed by the use of strong drink.
Every young man should insist on
health, comfort and responsibility in
his living and then ssve for home.
The young man prevents the oppor-
tunites offered by organizations Of
an educational and social character
when he uses their headquarters as
mere clubs, putting off marriage.
The young husband should not flop
into boarding house, but put head,
heart and hands together to build
up the true home. Only an educat-
ed woman-one with good heart, a
level head and skilled hands-can
make a good house on small means.
She can do it by stirring in judg-
ment," setting the table Alright and
steering the boys and girls. The
American civilization that is coming
will be the most expensive thing on
earth except barbarian. 1t can only
be maintained by that style of plain
living which in every region subol-
dinates to the spiritual and by wise
economies saved from the lower to
spend on the higher side Of the
national life.

 The ArIsOniaa, published at Phenix, states that the business manager and editor of the GaleHe have retired from that paper, and states that a transfer of the property has been made to five territorial officials, ap. pointed by Governor Zulick, two of whom are involved in the black. mailing land suits recently denounced by the ArisOaian. The immediate cause of the rupture is said to be, that prepared article defending these blackmailers from the strictures of the Arfsonian, was handed to Messrs. Parish and Fickas for publication, but they refused to publish it, although they were democrats they didn't pro- pose to be bulldozed into defending the black sheep of the party, Trouble ensued, and the paper was transferred to the officials mentioned, who it is understood have selected John o. Dunbar to edit it for them.

TIE attention of the authorities oI Apache and Yavapai counties is call cd to ihe disgraceful condition of affairs existing Ton the boundary line which divides them. Cattle and horse stealing has there apparently grown to be legitimate pursuit and until 1t has almost killed the efforts of stock men who believe in conducting the business on honest principles.

TIE A,isoniag, of Phenix, has un- earihed another attempted land fraud in that city, which is being prosecu, ted by Cameron H. King, the com missioner of immigration, and Web ster Street, as attorneys. It is de- nounced as blackmailing scheme. It certainly is disgraceful affair for an official like the commissioner of immigration, who is paid by the peo- pie to aid in building up the territory, 70 engage in any scheme that tends to destroy confidence in property titles.
